[Archived] Feyenoord 0 Rovers 0

[Ricky]

Well I've just got back from Amsterdam so won't be there again next week, just a few pointers:

Watch your pockets and bags at Centraal Station

If walking around the red light district at night make sure you are in small groups, it's not a very safe place to be on your own, heard stories of a few lads getting mugged whilst we were there.

Don't try to take a phot of the 'ladies' in the window, they don't like it and you are likely to get chased down the road by some failry scary looking blokes.

Don't drink all day and then decide to go and have a smoke otherwise you'll end up absolutely sparko in bed about 45 minutes later

If you want a decent bar head for The Tiger bar which is just down from the Old Sailor in the middle of the red light district, look at the photo's on the wall downstairs and you'll see one with me and the lovely barmaid.

Just enjoy it, it's a very unusual place but definitely worth a visit for those who haven't been before.

Still no news on extra ticket allocation? I know a few who haven't got tickets and the clubs silence doesn't help matters.

They'll still travel as you'll almost always get in, but having a large number of people without tickets isn't good from a policing point of view.

Whilst the club have made no announcement on the website about extra tickets, they have got some and are busy distributing them. I applied on Saturday and got a phone call yesterday (Thursday) saying I had 3. The extra tickets don't arrive until Sunday so we're picking them up at the Spurs match. Anyone who can't get to the ground to pick them up will probably struggle now. I've no idea whether they have allocated all the extra tickets, or indeed how many they got.

I think something has gone a bit weird, young Wez applied on the Wednesday and didnt get a ticket - despite some none season ticket holders applying on the Thursday being allocated them.

Seems a little strange to me.

Isnt Wez still banned for being an arse. Sounds fair to me.

Not that I am aware of?

HE has been to virtually all the away games in all competitions for the last 2 seasons.

[SuperStella]

Rovers have no tickets left for Feyenoord, a number of extra tickets were secured from the Dutch side but these have been used to satisfy existing demand

Anyone on the 6:15am from Liverpool on Weds?

Coming back at 9:55pm Friday

[boris bear]

Flying Wednesday 6am from Liverpool, leathered by dinner

Me too (first part of the statement only!)

[SuperStella]

This got me excited: -

The tie will see Rovers take their biggest following ever, away in Europe.

[SAS]

anyone travelling from the burn on the train to airport?

[trs]

Get in!

Tickets finally confirmed. Anyone flying from Blackpool?

3 of us from blackpool 17.00hrs weds, and to be brutally honest I can't bloody wait

[Billinge End Blue]

Will there be more Rovers fans at Feyenoord than at Celtic Park a few years ago (having read that this match'll have the Rovers largest ever following in Europe)?

If it refers to continental Europe, how many were at the Lyons game?

[yorkblues]

it will be good to see all the boys from the last trip again

You going to be playing catch up when we arrive mate? We can meet you off the train and the accom is just near the station anyway. Can't wait.

I thought there were about 4,000 at Ceptic Park but you wouldn't know would you?

Good point.

2,865 was the official allocation at Celtic Park. No idea about Lyon.

I'll be travelling light so as you say, meet y'all at the station

As for Glasgow, I blame it on that wee dram (or five) of Drambuie in Bairds, but just think of the kudos if I'd failed to get into the Parkheed ground for being 'under the influence'.

As I always say, when in Rome...

[MCMC1875]

I was at Lyon - the following was nowhere this level of interest.

[ihtd]

Anyone flying from Bristol on the 22nd on the mid afternoon flight?

[SAS]

it will be good to see all the boys from the last trip again

aiii

Thats the one. Afternoon beers in Blackpool, coffee and cakes in the Dam

[Tris]

I'm loving this thread and can't wait for next week.

Just scanning the last couple of pages, there are Rovers fans leaving these shores from airports in Blackpool, Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle, Birmingham, Bristol, Nottingham and no doubt there will be many more from London and Scotland.

And of course the huge contingent travelling by sea from Hull and elsewhere.

See you all down Leidseplein!

[Ninjathunder]

Flying from Leeds Bradford at 6pm on Wednesday with Yorkshire Blue.
